Publication in TCS: On MultiAspect graphs

by Klaus Wehmuth, , Éric Fleury, , Artur Ziviani, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304397516304352 Abstract Different graph generalizations have been recently used in an ad-hoc manner to represent multilayer networks, i.e. systems formed by distinct layers where each layer can be seen as a network. Similar constructions have also been used to represent time-varying networks. We introduce the concept …
